Goodness gracious look at that gorgeous gif! My good friend and graphical genius, Fraser, was able to create the aforementioned gif for me to use as an emote on my stream. “Supersean” has been used a grand total of… fourteen times at the time of this post! Before you ask, no, they were not all from me. This gif emote is available to me and subscribers of my channel. It feels extremely cool to have a custom emote of myself and I am hoping Fraser is up for making some more in the future.
Fraser also created this picture of me that I use pretty much everywhere as a profile picture, including on my Twitch page. The “Sean Hunter” plastered all over my face is an old meme from one of the gaming group chats that I am in. As an avid Magic: The Gathering player who keeps his collection up to date and current, I frequently had access to cards or decks that my friends wanted to borrow. I would routinely get tagged in the group chat asking if I could lend out stuff for events or tournaments and thus the @SeanHunter meme was born! I love using this picture for a few reasons. First, I look fantastic. Second, it provides a great opportunity to tell a fun story on stream about my group chat infamy. Third, a nightclub once used the original picture to promote a show and that, obviously, sent my ego into the stratosphere where it still remains today.
Yet another product of Fraser’s that I use for my banner on Twitch and Twitter. My face was expertly photoshopped onto the top 8 players of a Grand Prix that happened in LA back in 2016. This tournament was my first real finish where I came a respectable 47th place. At one point during the event, I was the lone undefeated player at 11-0-1 before I lost my final three matches in heartbreaking fashion. Fun fact, I defeated the eventual winner of the tournament and I was the only person to beat him so I like to think that I actually won the event. This picture is a great reminder of a fun event that I did quite well in and always gives me a chuckle.
I use these two graphics and one gif on my stream because they provide engagement to viewers and showcase my silly side as a streamer. I believe that having inviting or humourous additions to your Twitch page will bring in more viewers that you otherwise would not normally get. I am thankful that Fraser created these masterpieces so I am able to farm them for content purposes.
